Game Changer in the Energy Transition Era: ESS for Thailand’s National System Operator

Thailand’s commitment to achieving Net-Zero Greenhouse Gas emissions by 2050 is reshaping national power system planning, necessitating both the rapid integration of Variable Renewable Energy and an urgent transition toward Grid Modernisation to ensure continued reliability, security, and resilience.

This keynote identifies Energy Storage Systems (ESS) as a game-changing enabler of the energy transition, providing the critical grid flexibility required to optimize national-level operations under the National System Operator while resolving localized grid constraints for Transmission and Distribution System Operators. Furthermore, the session will detail EGAT’s Battery Ecosystem Strategy, highlighting its role in fostering long-term value creation and securing a sustainable infrastructure for Thailand’s circular economy and clean energy future.
